The good people of Arkansas are gullible but not stupid.
You were first elected from Arkansas crowing about your Army service. We folks in Arkansas appreciate military service. However, we folks in Arkansas still buy the idea of officers as ladies or gentlemen of honor. We know that Army values include honor and integrity. We also know that this week you have displayed neither.
One thing the good people of Arkansas don't have any time for is a liar. By lying for Trump you have earned the lowest criticism of any one from Arkansas: "Your mom 'n them raised you better that that."
This isn't about politics. This is about being a good and honorable person.

Sometimes we have to pretend like we might be their voters when we write... muhaha.

(8,311 posts)I don't know if he'd listen, but he IS being a total Trump-humper because his next election is in 2020. He IS hoping for a coattails victory.
And he's a damn liar.

I'd vote for a three legged yeller dog before I voted for Cotton.
